TO RAILWAY AND BRIDGE ENGI- NEERS.—The Gautier Steel Department, of Cambria Iron Co., Johnstown, Pa., desires to call the special attention of Engineers to the great superiority of COLD ROLLED STEEL for Bridge Chord Pins over Turned Iron. Actual experiments demonstrate that the shearing strain of Cold Rolled Steel is 150 per cent. and the bending strain is more than 200 per cent. in excess of iron. The surface is bright, and sizes are so accurate that no lathe work is necessary. This material is guaranteed superior in strength, accuracy, straightness and finish.

Hirons. v— The Trade of the United States of Colombia The United States of Colombia rank first in commercial importance among the Cen tral American Republics as regards theit lations with the United States, and thei: with this country is now estimated at $12, 000,000 per annum, out of a total foreign commerce only about thrice this amount Little attention being given by her popula tion to manufactures, the dependence of the well-to-do classes is very largely on im ported goods. The white and mixed races together make an aggregate of souls in the total of 4,000 000 inhabitauts The products to which Colombia owes it foreign commerce are as follows Metals and precious stones mined in the States of Cauca, Antioquia, Tol ima and Boyacd, per annum $4,500,000 Quinine found in the natural forest t Cauca, Tolima and Santander +00) Coffee and cocoa Tobacco ww) OWN Cattle (Atlantic Coast or State of Boli var) 1.(% Hides, rubber, vegetable ivory tufted birds, plants, &« 1.000.008 Total exports $12,000,000) The future development of the mining in terests are lik« ly te increase relatively in im portance, the metals being found in abun dance in the States in the Antioquia and Tolima, and the production for export will acquire importance from year to year, a improved machinery for mining purposes shall be introduced For some years past the resources of the country have been ab solved to excess in the effort to construct railway lines, of which there are no less than six, all entitled to subsidies from the Gov ernment treasury, to say nothing of appro priations from the same source for the construction of railway bridges, the aid of foundries, &c. Thus far 147 miles of road have been completed, usually with the de sign of connecting the more important points in the interior with the seaboard. The ad vantages to be realized from improved means for internal communication, particu larly as affecting the transportation of general merchandise and mineral products, cannot easily be overrated. To complete the system will require an estimated expend iture of $30,000,000. The Magdalena River has long been known to citizens of the United States, its navigation having proved a source of profit to those engaged in it, and it is not without advantage to builders of steamships, who have sent out about a score of good-sized vessels to that destination. ‘The cost of transporting a ton of treight between the seaboard and the capital will be reduced two-thirds by the competition of the rail roads now in process of construction. In her diplomatic relations, Colombia of late manifests a decided leaning toward the United States, and it is more than intimated that the Government is ill at ease respecting French designs in the canal management, A closer commercial alliance with the United States under these circumstances would doubtless be very acceptable. = em - An Interesting Discovery.—The ccr respondent of the London Times in Rome, writing from that city recently, says “An interesting discovery illustrating the com merce and the luxury of ancient Rome has been made close to Monte Testaccio and the English cemetery. The whole of that dis trict to the west of the Aventine, outside the Porta Tregemina, was occupied by granaries and warehouses for the stcrage of imports of all kinds. Jetween the northern side of Monte Testaccio and the Tiber there still exist colossal remains of the great emporium built by Marcus Emilius Lepidus and Emilius Paulus, nearly 200 years before the Christian era. In the year 1365 a considerable portion of the quays was discovered, together with some 600 blocks, many of them of large size, of rare, variegated marbles of all kinds, lying just where they were landed from the galleys which had brought them from Numidia, the Grecian Islands and Asia Minor 15 centuries ago Now, in the course of the building operations in this locality two warehouses have been discovered, one filled with elephants’ tusks and the other with lentils. Itiscurioustofind such products stored side by side, but as bags of lentils were some times shipped as ballast they may have served that purpose. he discovery would have been a very valuable one if, unfortunately, the ivory had not been much decayed.” EE In the following figures are yiven, first the seagoing merchant fleets of all nations and, recond, the stgamships of all nations Great Britain, 22,500 vessels, 11,20 oO tons ;: United States, 6600 vessels tons; Norway, 4200 vessels, 1,500,000 tons Germany, 7000 «Vessels 1,400,000 -tons France, 2900 vessels, 1,100,000 tons; Italy 3200 vessels, 1,000,000 tons; Russia, 2 vessels, 600,000 tous; all nations if vessels, 23,000,000 tons Thus it will be seen ata glance how tremendous! outrivals every other marine power Her preponderance is even greater in steam vessels. as appears by this second statement All mations, 7764 steam vessels, 9,2 tons: Great Britain {649 steam vVvesse £,.919,000 tons France, 4558 steam ve 667,000 tons; United state 427 steal vessels, 601,000 tons (rermany, 420 steam vesseis, 470,006 tons ; pain 252 steam vessels, 3 00 tons; Italy, |! stean eels, 166,000 tons Holland 27 steam ve sels, 155,000 tons Russia, 194 steam ves sels, 149,000 tons TI he total resources if the 2< saving of New York City, July 1, were § 762.
